Police officer ‘refuses to attend assault just 200 yards away’ - Levin - 04-07-2023

In a video that has gone viral, a resident is heard reporting the incident at a Co-op store in Lancing, West Sussex that was just “seconds away”.
But a police community support officer in a patrol car says he cannot attend because he is not a response unit.
The resident urges the officer to go to the scene, saying a member of the public has been assaulted in a fight as a result of shoplifting in the store, 200 or 300 yards away. The sight of a police car “will make them scatter,” says the resident.
The PCSO responds: “Yeah, but then I have to deal with it.”
Michael Morgan, a policing podcaster, called the response “unbelievable” and described the officer as a “coward in costume”.
Twitter users, including some former officers, said it was “inexcusable”.
